Dr.Bobby Offline

But would you agree that the use of DMX and Will Smith may have played on underlying opinions and biased the results?

p.s for citing you, should I just use Dr. Bobby or is there a name you prefer?

I'll just post a few other questions just to get a few out of the way.

In 2006, there was a study coming out of Western Connecticut State University (http://library.wcsu.edu/dspace/bitst...1/tropeano.pdf) where they took people and divided them into three groups. One group watched a DMX video, one no video, and one a Will Smith video.

They were then asked the questions that you see on that link. My question is, keeping in mind the public opinion of both DMX and Will Smith, around the year 2006, can you see a bias being created? Thus affecting the way a person responds, even beyond the content of the music videos.

Sorry if my wording isn't the best!

So I have you as saying that although these stimuli, be it lyrics or videos etc, may indeed make someone feel a certain way, there is no direct correlation between these feelings and overall behavior. Correct?

May I just ask for some examples of underlying causes for these behaviors?

Alright so first question: Some believe music can affect behavior and produce violent outcomes while others will show that the violent behavior was already present and the music will only affect mood. There's research supporting both sides of this argument.

On which side do you sit and please explain.

Hello!
I know this is asking a lot but I'm writing a small paper on music affecting behavior. If you're up to it I'd like to throw a few questions at you & use that interview as a source in my paper.

Thanks in advance! -Jon

Ah! Interesting stuff. How long have you been a psychologist for? Do you enjoy it? The only reason I'm asking is two of my friends are considering going into clinical psychology and one is considering neuro-psychology post-grad.

Hey! I saw some of your posts around the support forum and it got me intrigued...what is your specialty within medicine?
I hope you're well!
